Event Description

BOOK DISCUSSION: "The power of scarcity, leveraging urgency & demand to influence customer decisions"

Dr. Weinstein's presentation will build on the keynote presentation that she gave at The Startup Ladies #InvestInWomenFounders Summit in November 2023. She will focus on content from her new book, "The power of scarcity, leveraging urgency & demand to influence customer decisions." This is a topic close to the heart of anyone responsible for generating revenue. She is looking forward to speaking and meeting with business owners, leaders, and faculty from business schools.

WHY DID WE CHOOSE THIS BOOK?
Scarcity, is a powerful, yet often misunderstood principle. Much of its research is buried in academic journals, typically emphasizing economics over psychology. The Power of Scarcity (McGraw 2022) bridges that gap. With expertise in marketing and psychology, Weinstein reveals scarcity's psychological underpinnings, its deep influence on decisions and its ethical application. A blend of academic and practical insights, this book is a beacon for marketers seeking to harness scarcity's power.
